THEY MADE STUDENTS WORK IN THE STREETS
In 1893 Men Voted Without Paying Poll Tax and Were Arrested
The Student Council is not the first body of students who have got into trouble with the Lawrence authorities, Back in 1893 a body of students got into the political scrap which was then at high heat, and subsequently worked the streets to pay their poll tax.
It all happened because the students wanted Dick Blue for Congress. They voted at the spring primaries and the second precinct went for Blue. The opposition party happened to be in power and soon found a way to punish the students who had used so little discretion in voting.
The students chose to work and on Saturday morning about forty students, each with ten helpers gathered at North College. They proceeded to Mississippi street where they were put to work by the street commissioner. The work which they accomplished with their pitchforks, pair of the commissioner's heart, booms, and fire shovels was the desir. Their tattered clothes was their only resemblance of laborers.
It was found that the students had not paid their poll tax so they were summoned before the magistrate and ordered to pay up or appear for work the following Saturday which might be arrested in a body.
They worked like a single man for every time the commissioner ordered one man to move the entire bunch moved. When one fellow asked the commissioner for a "chew" the enbunch bunch answered—until the plug was exhausted.
At noon the boys received their certificates of labor and went to the restaurant where their party leaders "set up" the dinner.
Professors S. J. Hunter and R. D. O'Leary were two of the ardent workers, as was also Ex-governor Herbert Hadley, of Missouri.
A feature of the work was the transplanting of several tree lines, from North Hollow to the middle of the valley, when the commissioner wasn't looking.
The fourteenth annual Engineers' banquet will be held in the Gym on the evening of Friday the thirteenth. All schools are figuring out stunts. The programs have been obtained for the program. Tickets are going well at $1.25.

POSTERS DERIDE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
Red Placards Appear Again on Trees in Student District
CALL POLICE FORCE A JOKE
Can't Enforce Most Trivial Ornance, is Statement—Case of Arrested Councilmen Continued for a Week
The University printing plant was broken into Friday night and the indications are that the placards were printed there.

"The University won't stand for such work for a minute," said Chancellor Strong this afternoon, "and if they don't have to take their medicine."
The poster reads as follows: "This card proves that the Lawrence Police force is a joke. They are utterly incompetent to enforce the most trivial ordinance, low, cool, Meyers, pinch, student, Student Council again!" (Squirrel print)
A a few of the bills were up at noon,
since the students considered the bills
good "K book" material and toore
most of them down for souvenir.
The members of the Student Council know nothing of 'this latest flagrant violation of the law. All the teachers, by which they are banners this morning deny any knowledge of the affair and several seem to think that a joke on the Student Council, rather than a hoax on the police, was the intention of the cul-
At Police Court Saturday six Councilmen showed up and pleaded "not guilty" when their names were called. Burke, Kennedy, Miller, McCormack, and others pleaded the men present. Uncle Jimmy Green represented the prisoners.

Uncle Jimmy Says Bills Were Disgrace to Hill
"I hope the upshot of all this will be that the practice of tacking up signs on every available object in the student district will be discontinued," says Uncle Jimmy Green. "The approaches of the University have been marred greatly over the year by the practices, city observations and should be observed for the sake of the good appearance of that part of the town near the University."
